Executive General Manager Sales and Marketing, Dave Aardsma, explains the documents are then recycled or disposed of in ways that will help the environment. “We understand your sensitive material needs to be destroyed, but that does not mean it can’t be treated in an environmentally friendly way,” David Aardsma says. “We provide secure, lockable bins for scheduled or flexible collection. The contents of each bin are then securely shredded and either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly and secure manner.” For some of the destroyed material, that means being turned into cardboard boxes.

But Cleanaway does not just destroy documents – it also provides secure services to destroy contaminated, out-of-date, obsolete, recalled, illegal and sensitive materials or products. That could include food or beverages that need to be disposed of, or clothing and footwear. Whether its paint, toys, recalled products, tobacco or liquor, Cleanaway is a specialist provider of destruction and recycling services.

“Our services ensure your brand and business names are protected,” Mr. Aardsma says. “A combination of machine and manual processes are used to disassemble, break down, shred or crush the products, which are then reused, recycled or disposed of in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly manner.”

Cleanaway provides secure containment, transport and disposal of documents and waste, approved by all relevant Australian standards.

“We are an Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) licensed service and we can provide you with associated EPA documentation. We can also provide you with certificates of destruction for your records,” Mr Aardsma said. “Talk to us about how our professional, proficient staff can advise you on collection, storage and transport. Our customers range from small businesses to large multi-national commercial and industrial organisations across a range of different industries.”
